The book is addressed to Christian women of all ages, offering hope, direction, and encouragement to commit and to recommit their lives to the One who died to set all free: Jesus Christ.

| NO ONE LIKE HIM : Jesus & His Message [Thomas A Jones] An introduction appropriate for newcomers as well as those familiar with the teachings of Jesus, this exploration of his life and words is helpful without being preachy and extreme. For those struggling with the challenges of 21st-century life -- new kinds of war, shaky stock markets, a scarcity of jobs -- this book encourages readers to look to Jesus to bring focus to their lives. Emerging in the four Gospels as a man who was supremely confident about who he was and what he wanted to accomplish, Jesus had a radical humility both toward God and toward mankind. The text explores Jesus' radical call to commitment and the understanding that it can only be accepted in the context of God's extravagant generosity. This generous and challenging portrayal is unveiled in such a way as to inspire people to know him more intimately. { 188pp, 140x215mm, September 2002; PB, £7.99, 1577821807:9781577821809 , IPG (Discipleship Publications International) } |

| POWER & FRUIT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT : An Eleven Week Guide for Group Bible Study [Bruce Williams] Can one have the fruit of the Spirit? Bruce Williams is convinced this is exactly what God plans for us. Many look at themselves and see that they are far from consistent in producing the love, joy, peace, patience, and kindness that is needed, not to mention the other qualities Paul describes in his famous passage to the Galatians. But all are in process and if hearts are surrendered to God's working, one can increasingly see the Spirit produce those qualities that mark a disciple. This book will guide one toward a changed heart and character, and in so doing, to changed behaviour. People can be different. People can be transformed and can live in such a way that the Spirit comes through with those things against which there is no law. This eleven-week study guide gives readers space for writing answers to the questions, which helps them to personalise the lessons and be ready to share in group discussions. { 72pp, 140x215mm, March 2006; PB, £5.50, 1577822021:9781577822028 , AtlasBooks (Discipleship Publications International) } |

| REPENTANCE : A Cosmic Shift of Mind & Heart [Edward J Anton] Ed Anton's new book, Repentance, really gets to the heart of what repentance is. The author is convinced that many want to live repentant lives, but not everyone understands how to do so.

| SECURE IN HEART : Overcoming Insecurity in a Woman's Life [Robin Weidner] Being secure in heart is about knowing who God is, who Jesus is, who you are, and being able to apply this knowledge in a way that sets you free. With openness about her battles with insecurity, she walks boldly, yet gently, into readers' hearts and helps them answer with faith the questions that rise from deep within. For each of these questions, the author shows how to identify Satan's false securities and then how to overcome them by understanding and applying God's nature. Through stories from her life and the lives of other women, Weidner brings this "hidden" struggle into the light, giving women confidence to engage their battle and fight for their true heritage as daughters of God. Includes an in-depth study guide to help individuals and groups internalise the truths from this needed resource. { 303pp, 140x215mm, May 2007; PB, £9.99, 1577822072:9781577822073 , AtlasBooks (Discipleship Publications International) } |
| STRONG IN THE GRACE : Reclaiming the Heart of the Gospel [Thomas A Jones] Beginning with a close examination of what Paul meant by the 'trustworthy message', Tom Jones presents the case that the grace of God is the trunk of the tree from which many other Biblical teachings, including discipleship, relationships and evangelism, must grow. A much-needed book because of the ancient and modern tendency to move from a grace model to a performance model. As individuals and as a church, we must take seriously Paul's charge to be 'strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus' (2 Timothy 2:1) or we will not be strong at all. It is not enough to include the message of God's grace as one topic among many and have it on a list of things we believe. It must truly become the core of our faith and the deepest conviction from which all else flows. This is a small book with a big message. { 126pp, 140x180mm, May 2004; PB, £7.50, 1577821920:9781577821922 , AtlasBooks (Discipleship Publications International) } |
| SWORD FOR THE IMMERLAND KING [F W Faller] Transcending time and dimension, this visionary novel possesses elements of spirituality and transformations of the psyche. Set in an Arthurian milieu on the planet of Tessalindria, it explores the spiritual journey of young Princess Vrengnia, who is aided by a wise blacksmith and his son, Paca. Her father is conflicted between his desire to be a good king and father and his desire for revenge. He asks the blacksmith to forge a sword imbued with mystical power to be used as an instrument of his bitterness, and a spiritual struggle ensues. The conflict depicted between good and evil encourages readers to search for true meaning and purpose in life. This otherworldly tale inspires a closer look at true spirituality without the encumbrances of preconceived ideas of Christian terminology. { 354pp, 155x230mm, May 2002; PB, £10.99, 1577821750:9781577821755 , AtlasBooks (Doxa Press) } |
